The 92nd annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will take place on Thursday morning, with over 3.5 million people expected to line the streets of Manhattan to watch the dazzling display of balloons and floats.

The coldest air so far this season will descend on the Big Apple in time for the parade, accompanied by icy winds.

“It will be a cold day in New York for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, so spectators will need to bundle up,” said AccuWeather Meteorologist Steve Travis, adding that dry, sunny weather would prevail for the festivities.

Sunshine my be ineffective given the temperature and wind forecast for the region.

Temperatures will only be in the lower 20s during the parade, which starts at 9 a.m. EST.

However, cold winds gusting to 30 mph at times will make it feel even more uncomfortable.

AccuWeather RealFeel&reg Temperatures will be at dangerously low levels in the single digits, putting anyone with exposed skin at risk for frostbite.
